U.S. Majors Tour Northern Conference 2019 Point Champions

TOPEKA, Kan. (Sept. 13, 2019) – The SCCA® U.S. Majors Tour® Northern Conference has concluded its 2019 calendar. More than 650 racers took part in the Conference’s 12-round season that visited five different venues. Drivers who triumphed have earned a 2019 Northern Conference championship.

The Formula Atlantic Northern Conference championship was decided by five scant points as Paul Ravaris, driving a Pro Formula Mazda, edged out the Swift 016 of Larry Howard, 66 points to 61 points. The Formula Mazda Northern Conference championship was close, too, as Owen McAllister managed to claim victory by only eight points over William Snyder thanks to two wins during the Hoosier Super Tour at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Formula Vee (FV) saw a heck of a championship fight in the Northern Conference as the top three finishers were only separated by seven points. Andrew Whitston and his Protoform P2 took the top spot with 138 points. Zachary Whitston, also driving a Protoform P2, and Stuart Delaney, in a Caracal C-SB, where right behind Andrew with 131 points each. However, Zachary claims the runner-up spot in FV based upon his three victories as compared to Delaney’s two second-place finishes on the season.

Combined, the Spec Miata (SM) and Spec Racer Ford Gen3 (SRF3) classes accounted for more than 180 competitors during the 2019 Northern Conference season. In SM it was Voytek Burdzy who bested 95 other racers to claim a championship. And in SRF3, S. Sandy Satullo III was cream of the crop amongst a field of 90 drivers.

It should be noted that Scott Rettich earned his fourth U.S. Majors Tour Conference championship by claiming victory in the Northern Conference’s Formula Enterprises 2 (FE2) class. Rettich earlier claimed Northeast Conference championships in FE2 and SRF3, and also claimed FE2’s top spot in the Southeast Conference.
